......and Rush still said Williams killed himself because he is a liberal.....coles notes version.


I laugh at you all the time.

I wonder what sort of stats Rush has on political affiliation and suicide to back up a claim like that?


Not sure many studies have been done about that......but.

Wonder what the suicide rate is for lonely mods?

Several talk show hosts have pleaded with their audience to let every know of suicide prevention phone lines and that help is always available. I have passed by several people in conversation about this as well. Let's hope that this tragedy will serve as a wake up call to a lot of people who need the help and to others who may be able to help those in need of this kind.

When someone makes you laugh, not just snicker or grin, but full out side splitting belly laugh, they tend to greatly endear themselves to you. There is a drive I'm seeing from a lot of people to keep talking about him, his life and his death. And you're right, if it can keep the dialogue going about suicide and suicide prevention, maybe it'll do some good.

You likely know about coach Tony Dungy who is so respected especially here in the Twin Cities. He is often looked to as the moral exemplar of the NFL for his personal integrity, good character, and uplifting spirit. Yet he has had to face the terrible ordeal of losing his own son via suicide - nine years after this tragedy people still talk about it and were doing so yesterday on local sports radio. It has been suspected that his son was gay - Dungy himself has gone on record as saying he would not draft a gay player into his pro team. Yet, he tries to reconcile his archaic view by moralizing and sermonizing. This is viewed favorably by the more conservative members of the sports community. But many view this as too out of touch with today's reality. While many may disagree with him (I would have absolutely no trouble with drafting any player regardless of personal lifestyle) it remains important that he remains as a public figure so that we can all be reminded that no matter how pleasant things may appear on the surface, certain troubling things may be happening that we are not aware of and that we need to deal constructively with those problems.
